The Way It Really Is

Lisa Loeb

i kept talking to myself
i had to get the words out of my head (so i did)
you barely said a thing
you kind of heard me out and then you said (you said)

you're crazy, why do you keep doing this?
everything is fine
then i think i'm crazy, i do this all the time
until i start to think that nothing's even wrong

maybe i am hiding in my own confusion
maybe we're just a picture in my head
maybe what if it could be the way i wish it really was
maybe i don't wanna see it, the way it really is

sometimes your intentions are totally impossible to read
what does that mean?
sometimes even i have no idea what i need
i wish i did

i'm crazy, why do i keep doing this?
everything is fine
then you think i'm crazy, i do this all the time
until i start to think that something's really wrong

maybe i am hiding in my own confusion
maybe we're just a picture in my head
maybe what if it could be the way i wish it really was
maybe i don't wanna see it, the way it really is

looking out my window at the big blue sky
lazy sun is shining and so i run outside
to look for you, i look for you
and then it starts to rain

maybe i am.. is that the way it really is?
maybe we're just... a picture
maybe what if it could be the way i wish it really was
maybe i don't wanna see it, the way it really is

maybe i am hiding in my own confusion
maybe we're just a picture in my head
maybe what if it could be the way i wish it really was
maybe i don't wanna see it, the way it really is

maybe i am hiding in my own confusion
maybe we're just a picture in my head
maybe what if it could be the way i wish it really was
maybe i don't wanna see it

maybe i don't wanna see it
maybe i don't wanna see it
the way it really is (the way it really is)
the way it really is (the way it really is)

the way it really is
